With a vibrant Magyar culture and an abundance of healing thermal springs, there’s no other holiday destination like Budapest. Explore the vibrant architecture and enjoy the culinary delights and let the city pamper you with some of the best it has to offer.

Here’s a quick guide to the city’s weather to help you to determine the best time to visit Budapest.

Budapest in Winter (December, January and February)

Winter is the best time to travel to Budapest if you’re looking for bargains on accommodation. It gets freezing cold as temperatures drop to -2°C. Though most outdoor attractions stay closed, you can still enjoy ice-skating, museums and indoor performances. Remember to pack your woollens and thermals.

Budapest in Spring (March, April and May)

As spring heralds warmth, it is the best time to visit Budapest for some great hotel deals. Most outdoor attractions open as the city shakes off the last vestiges of winter. But snow is replaced by rain. So, carry an umbrella or a raincoat as you venture out to explore the city.

Budapest in Summer (June, July and August)

Though the summers are hot, it is the best time to travel to Budapest. As most locals retreat to Lake Balaton, you will find lesser crowds in the city. Pack lightly but don’t forget your rain gear. It’s a good time to cool off in the massive Palatinus Baths at Margaret Island.

Budapest in Fall (September, October and November)

Fall is also the best time to go to Budapest because of the weather. Neither too hot nor too cold, you can sample all of the city’s delights without interruptions. All you need is a light jacket and you’re set.
